I am thinking about powdercoating my Axis Se7en Mods gunmetal. I just photoshopped a quick pic, they would be shinier in real life. What do you think about it?

Here is what it might look like:

 

Here is the original look:

 

i think thatd look great! gunmetal rims just go so well with silverstone.

 

I say "DO IT!!" that looks gorgeous in the first pic! like zeroday said, it goes very well with SS.

 

ok that looks awsome. holy crap.

but wouldn't powder coating turn out a tad darker. almost black?

if you can get that kind of a shade. do it.

 

go for it!!! i also powdercoated my rims gunmetal and definitely do not have any regrets.

 

Would the shop have to break down the wheel, then put it back together? I'm assuming you are going to leave the lips polished. Or would the shop just mask off the lip and spray the center?

 

They can't break down the wheel, its a fake 3 piece, the rivits are just for looks. So, I guess that the will mask and spray. Will that cause any problems? Yes, I am going to leave the lips polished. I have decided that I will do this after I stared at the pic all day. Does anyone know how much it will cost?

 

I went on a run yesterday with mostly exotic and rare cars and there was a sweet 996 with gunmetal axis wheels. Heres a shot of them, might help you to better visualize your wheels.

They were absolutely stunning in person.

 

I've had quotes of 65.00 per wheel without any masking.

 

Thanks for the pics those look great. I have decided that I am going to do it for sure.

 

Thanks for the info, this is cheaper than I expected. Now I just have to find a good shop. Anyone know of one in the Atlanta area?

 

got mine done for $350. and that was with the masking off for the polished lip.

 

The gunmetal looks great on SS!

I like the lighter silver on Black. (like mine)
